Ducklings and incubators...
Hello, Just wondering what you think is a good ratio for eggs hatching in incubator. For example I just put 11 eggs in my incubator and day 28 was today. 10 out of 11 hatched. That's good but what is considered a bad hatch? Any incubators you DONT suggest using? YAY Silver Appleyards! -
Introducing Help
Just a quick update. I separated the two groups but noticed that there was absolutely no arguing at all so today I opened the gates and wished myself luck. . . There was no arguments. They even laid beside each other and all waddled into the barn as a group. -

DUCK COOPS
Can I see your layouts? I'm trying to figure out a new duck house layout. I will have about 15 ducks :/ and they free range during the day but come in at night. When you post your pictures can you also tell me how many ducks you have? I've attached one picture of our pond as well as a couple of... -
Choosing a breed
I love my Silver Appleyards but I think they are already sold out from the Metzer website (I didn't get mine there) I'd be interested in Cayugas next after my Saxonys -
Saxony Duck Thread!
Yeah I totally see it it's kind of like the males beaks head upwards in the centre and the females turn slightly downwards. It's very slight. But now that I see it I'm going to see if it's true for these guys and my newest batch when they finally hatch.
